The baseline. Used by everyone from athletes to surgeons. • 4-7-8 Breath — Inhale for 4, hold for 7, exhale for 8. Resets your nervous system in seconds. • Deep Sigh — A double inhale followed by a long exhale. The fastest way to offload stress. • Coherent Breath — 5.5 seconds in, 5.5 out. Puts your heart rate variability into a natural rhythm. • Power Breath — Fast cycles followed by a hold. A light version of the Wim Hof method to build energy. — JUST BREATHE — The animated circle expands as you inhale and contracts as you exhale. Gentle haptic pulses mark each phase change. No thinking required. — STREAK — The only metric that matters: how many days in a row did you show up? Lull tracks your streak and lets you share it — without looking like an ad. — NATIVE — • Logs every session as Mindful Minutes in Apple Health • Daily reminder at whatever time you choose • All data stays on your device — no account, no cloud, no tracking Lull wants you to close it.
